Sojourn of the Night Train
Listen to poem:
Sojourn of the Night Train
David J Walker
It was the night train
Sounding its warning
Pulling the evening
On a sojourn west
The night train commands
The stars and the shadow
Of the moon
Where fearful plagiarists
Erase all traces of
Expectations
And fall asleep in the heap
Of lower quarters
The night train is coming
And will not fail to follow
Its track beyond the horizon
Of the restless ocean
